Jizhou's troops are elite and grain is abundant; I'm envious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gonglu is extorting and looting in Nanyang Commandery, losing the hearts of the people.

Miserable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao took out another bamboo slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Liu Xuande is amazing. He snatched the Beauty Feng that Gonglu had his eyes on, gained six hundred thousand people, and even Ju Shou defected to him. He also married a daughter of the Zhen family.

Liu Xuande is truly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He turned to look at Xun Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xun Wenruo, your strategy is no less than Zhang Zhang Liang's. Being able to get your defection, I am already satisfied.

They are also old, so we just need to wait for them to pass away, and their heirs are not worth worrying about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ding Yuan Shu has the background of four generations and three dukes, but is greedy by nature, arrogant, incompetent, and lacks foresight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gonglu has always been living off the Ding Yuan family's old capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xun Yu continued to comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Gongsun Zan has high combat power, but doesn't know how to nurture the people. It is only a matter of time before he is destroyed by Ding Yuan Shao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao nodded. Xun Yu was indeed insightful and judged people very accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lord, Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an. Although he still has nearly two hundred thousand troops, the population of Guanzhong has decreased greatly, and disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. He cannot afford to support these troops and can only rely on looting other provinces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dong Zhuo's spirit has been lost, and his power will only get worse and worse. Moreover, he is extremely cruel and will definitely die from chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The only two people the Lord needs to focus on are Ding Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Liu Bei of Bing Province!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao and the others' eyes lit up. The key point was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ding Yuan family head Ding Yuan Shao inherited most of the Ding Yuan family's resources and is the leader of this alliance, with extremely high prestige and many supporters. This time, he took Jizhou without a fight. Very soon, he will swallow Qing Province and compete with Brother Gongsun Zan for the land of You Province.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao nodded (agfh).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hebei has fertile fields everywhere and a large population. Benchu has three provinces and is following the old path of Emperor Emperor Guangwu, eyeing the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone was a bit discouraged. Ding Yuan Shao took Jizhou, the head of the nine provinces, without any effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They had fought for a long time just to take Dongjun and Chenliu. The gap!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xun Yu looked around and cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although Ding Yuan Benchu has a great advantage, I abandoned him to join you, Lord. Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Ren, Xiahou Ding Yuan, and others' eyes also lit up. That's right!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although Ding Yuan Shao is a heroic leader, he is not a wise one. He is arrogant, indecisive, and suspicious. These personalities won't have too much backlash for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, as his power grows, the number of his generals and strategists increases, and as he gets older, Ding Yuan Shao's problem of being indecisive and unable to make decisions when things happen will be infinitely magnified. Moreover, Ding Yuan Shao's subordinates already have many factions, and internal friction is serious...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao nodded. Xun Yu saw Benchu's flaws clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha, Xun Wenruo is indeed a great talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You put Liu Bei last, it seems you think highly of Liu Bei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Hong curled his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Liu Bei is just a mat-weaver and shoe-seller, with no family background. The Bing Province he occupies now is also very barren, and he has to face the immediate threat of Dong Zhuo. I don't think highly of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le Jin and others also nodded. Liu Bei's birth was too low!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao said in a deep voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Precisely because of this, it shows Liu Bei's talent. If you were still selling straw sandals in Zhuoxian two years ago, who could have done better than him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned. This angle was indeed good.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xi Zhicai also interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Liu Bei started from the bottom, and now his prestige shakes the nine provinces, and his loyalty spreads throughout the world. He is an extraordinary person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nowadays, most of the refugees from various places are heading to Liu Bei's Bing Province, where they can reclaim wasteland and be exempt from land taxes for three years. Bing Province increases by tens of thousands of people every month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiahou Ding Yuan also said,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Liu Bei also has high prestige in the army. He defeated Lu Bu, and the last time that Hebei famous general Wen Chou was knocked off his horse by Liu Bei with one move. The entire Ye City saw it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xun Yu added,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The generals Ju Yi and Zhang He that Liu Bei newly obtained are both famous generals of Hebei. I observe that their ability to lead troops is higher than Ding Yuan Shao's current generals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao was completely sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In other words, before Ding Yuan Shao came, Liu Bei had already taken the two best generals of Hebei and Ju Shou?
